SALUTATION.
The introduction of new enterprises,
be they small or great, are attended
with more or less drawbacks on the prt
C !fl'.?y Sat?gLi"iIc'r establishment,
' even tinder tbo most favorable circuni-
stanccsmuch more so when the condi-
.tioof tilings is such as to increase
the difficulties and lesson the ability to
remove tlu-ru.
These remarks, general in their na-
K Ure, may j have a special application to
- the enterprise of publishing the Indc
pcndcnti Tlic building up of a news
paper subscription and office is always
attended with laboVapd, beset witlfdif-"-
ficulties which the uninitiated can but
imperfectly -understand: but in the pre
sent instance these difficulties aro en
liauccdby the compelled absence of the
,, proprietor, whoso, hands cannot bo in

THEFUTUEE.
From nil parts of tho country wc
hear persons speaVof 'Kansas as the
place when they intend inaking their
future home. The length of the win
ters iu Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota
aro serious objections to locating iu
those States, and thousands are waking
up to the fact, and turning their eyes
to Kansas, which is soon to bo the glint
of the west. o ' :
Missouri will grow slowly 6 long ns
sho remains a Slave State, throwing
population beyond her limits, and Kan
sas becomes the natuial landing place
for all who secka western home with u
view to ultimate comfort.
This thing of feeding stock seven
mouths in tho year is not liked by peo
ple who have not been accustomed to
such labor and expense ; and a little
knowledge of the facts ns they arc, will
convince nil that the north-western ter
ritories and states arc all liable to this
objection.
During the" next two years thousands
and tensof thousands of emigrants will
make their homes in Kansas. If our
people will only act wisely, keep-out of
debt, nnd improve only as they'' have j
means, nil will be well.
We shall have more to say on this
subject iu the future. -, ,
KANSAS
Is to be kept out of the Union for the
present Without reference to any
partj , this is a piece of political injus
tice which must recoil upon those wh
are responsible for it. If ever a territo
ry applying for admission into the
Union as one of the States had claims
to be heard, surely Kansas has.
There is no just reason why she sho'd
be kept out, but very powerful and ur
gent ones why sho should be admitted.
But lies people lvc perseverance and
can uwait the tardy movements of jus
tice, however much they roayfecl the
wrong done thorn by tho arbitrary act
of a faction in tho Congress of tho
United States.
We do not believe the people of the
Union, of any party, desiro that Kinsas
should longer be kept knocking at the
door for ndmissiou ; but-the jugglers at
Washington blinded by the atmosphere
of that politically pestiferous city,,hnve
taken it into their hca'ds to perforin 'this
petty act of personal malice, for,, which
they will bo held 'to account.
'Tho people of sll parties arc.nght'nt
heart, and desiro' the real prosperity of
tho country. Unfortunately, "party pro
judicc blinds thousands of them,Ko,tha

f l - -- v
jln August, ,1855, JcsscHewcll,, in
company with Jos. Fitsimons nnd oth
ers from Iowa, was passing through the
Territory of Kansas, "looking at the
counlrv," with a view of settling at no
distant day some where within "its
boundaries. Among tho points that-j
attracted the favorable notico'of Mr.
Newell, the present sitoof p&knlobsa,
was tho most prominent. But the
fckurns" in this region were already
nearly all taken by "squatters," and his
circumstances being such as to prevent
his cither taking or purchasing a
claim just a'tthat'time, Mr. Newell, re-,
(tirniwl In tile linmn m Tnu-n TTnvimr
.- ...,... ... w j,,
on his first visit to Kansas conceived
the idea of'laying out a "town herp.
though he saiiTnolhing to his comrades
about it, ho determined to sell his farm,
as soon as a favorable opportunity pre
sented, which he did during tho, follow
ing winter., unending to remove to
Kansas the ensuing spring." n
On the 16th alay of May, 1050, Jesse
Newell nnd Joseph Fitsimons arrived
bere with their!. families. Mr. Nowcll
bought James Noble's claim,and moved
into his cabin, and Mr. Fitsimons camp
ed on tho prairie some where near whnt
is now tho Public Square. The latter
soon h afterward purchased a claim ad
joining Jlr. Nawclla, a portion of which
ho still owns.
, During that summer Mr.MNeweli
erected nud put in' operation on tho West
sidoof the present village.near a spring
which he lmd found in '55,a good steam
saw mill. In July of'lhc same season,
Mr. Njjmd Mr.'F. laid off. about forty
acres of ground between them, into
blocks, lots, streets and alleys,and gave
it'tho name of Oakaloosa; but owiug to
the troubles and difficulties of that limo
nota single house was built on the sur
veyed plat during that year, nor until a
bout the middle of June, 1857, This
month J B. Forbesbuilt tlie Kansas, JIo
tel,"now kept by S. T. McMurray;aand
Jos. .Fitsimons erected the store house
he now occupies. $'H

ntio!i Jesse Newell, President. From
the best iiifornmtidti wc have been ablo
to get, during this year there were not
niorojhanscvou or eight houses built
iu town.making all told less than a
dozen houses in Oskaleosa the first two
years of its existence.
i; Early in 1C50, it began to improve
more rapidly than ever before, and dur
ing thaty car it much moro than doubled
its population.
In, October, of' the samo year, by a
vowof the people of Jefferson County,
the County Seat was located nt this
place. Since that lime' the same que
tjou has ben submitted to the arbitra
ment of tho ballot, box three different
times, but Otkaloosa has retained by
Increasing majorities what it'enined in
'1 85tTby, only four votes. Sjf
During the past two years Ojkaloo'sa
asS?wn with'tuipreceden tctLrapidity,
for an inland townalid now, where less
tlian four years ago, the prairie sod'wns
unbroken, and not a single house was
seenj there is a thriving village df an
cstimafcdopululion of seven hundred.
An almost incredibly- short fpaco of
i lime has elapsed sinee tho wild Indian,
the bufijilo, the deer nnd the antilopo
ro'imed over these prairies and through
the woodland, unmolested by thowhito
nun; and in tho samo short time.though
letarded by the strife of war and iuter

come r-ompanitivcly densely populated,'
nnd an cntrrprising village, where thei
busy nammer, llio etciun tvjustle, tho
priming presd.aud all the bustling noise
of a business town is heard, has sprung
up liko magic, commanding a lively
trade (rcjja "nfi.tlie region roundabout."
